From Plant to Bottle The Power of Plants with JENNA
J
LE VINE
enna Levine is a perfect example of an inspiring individual always on the brink of reinvention. Prior to starting her natural skincare line, Linné Botanicals, in 2016, her career included successful stints as a set designer (she worked on Clint Eastwood’s Gran Torino), food stylist, farm manager and chef (at the acclaimed Scribe Winery in Sonoma, California). She then went on to study native botany and herbal medicine at the Regenerative Design Institute in Bolinas, California, where she learned about the healing power of herbs and other plants with medicinal properties. Today, she is based in New York where she is busy creating products formulated with natural ingredients sourced from around the globe. Here, Jenna tells us about two of her star performers, both harness the skin-transforming power of plants.
